Its main objective is to render a public service through good jourmalism and to this end, The Bronze Reporter is bscsclonaad - dedicated. 2 ee REPORTER, SATURDAY, NOV..22, 1958 EDITORIAL No Room For Moderation When the ballots were tallied Wednesday morning and showed Dale Alford, a segregationist ahead of Representative Brooks Hays, who has hid the seat in the house of representatives for sixteen years, no one should have been surprised. As we have stated in these columns before, segregationists don~t play. And if anybody had entertained any idea that they know the meaning of relenting, Tuesday~s election with the paste-in candidate should have removed all doubts. Gov. Faubus isn~t any different from any other inventorWhen an inventor invents a machine, he is able to make it work to his advantage, if it will work at all. Faubus built a machine of men, and naturally he knows-how to work it. That was demonstrated thjs summer when he swept himself. into office for an unprecent third term opposed by two strong clean-cut men. It is our opinion that the contest Tuesday between Hays and Alford was not to seat Alford in the house of representatives from the fifth congressional dictrict, but was to unseat Hays. Congressman Hays was a nice congenial ~fellow~ in Washington, and was one that the Negroes of Arkansas could easily consider as their ~friend.~ It is no more than natural for the Negro to prefer Hays over Alford. But in the face off stark reality, the Negro shouldn~t lose any tears for he hasn~t lost any grounds in the field of civil rights, for the only thing that helps in the field of civil rights is the way a man votes in the house. And we have nothing to substantiate any belief that Hays~ vote would have beep any different than that of Alford~s, where our rights are concerned. Hays feels as we and many others, that Fabus engineered his |; defeat. Faubus says Hays is responsible for his own defeat. The governor for once could have something. When the governor pulled out the state national guards in September 1957 to defy the Supreme Court, what would have been~ the results if Hays had advocated law and order, and contended for compliance with the Supreme Court? There is a possibility that with a man as popular as Hays was and is still, that he would have been joined by: many Little Rockians and Arkansans, who it is believed favored law and order over mob rule, and.at the sam~ time lacked the courage to speak out Such a procedure at that t'me would: have curtailed the power of the governor. and prevented~ his pees a machine that is now s little difficult to handle. ~: But Hays, as many cf the other so-called substantial citizens | of Arkansas, passed cff the ruthless. venture into the lawlessness of the governor, because at that time, it was only the Negro whe was the victim of abuse and was being crushed- No one cou'd un derstand that if mob violence were run to a perfection on the Ne gro then, it wouldn~t be long before its perfection would be tried out some where else. Arkansas has shown that thére is no room for the moderates nof for the Negro. ~From the Arkansas State Press of Little Roc? Join The NAACP Nellie Watts Concerts - PRESENTS + Geoffrey Holder ~~~~.

Those responses indicated, Unger said, that teenagers want to edme to grips with the prob~em of integration and, with reJonsible guidance, attempt to ~olve it.
